His Eagle Eyes on Me

"Eric is okay with that?" Robert asked.

"He didn't exactly agree, but he didn't say no to it either. Layla has already moved in with him, and even if they don't share a room, they are together in the eyes of others," Ivy said with a smile. "Eric has liked Layla all along. She once showed me his iPad, and it's filled with photos and videos of Layla."

Robert was stunned. "He hides his feelings well! I never knew that he felt this way about Layla."

"Layla is pretty, talented, and smart, so it's normal for Eric to like her! If I were a guy, I would like her as well," Ivy said earnestly. "I think she is far more beautiful than I am."

"You don't have to lower yourself to build her up." Robert shot her a look. "You just don't have a habit of putting makeup on. Once you start dressing up, you will look just as beautiful as Layla."

"I just think she is better-looking than me."

"Alright. She is prettier." Robert did not argue with her. "Ivy, the winter holiday is approaching, so I can drop you off at work!"

Ivy rejected him right away. "Mr. Gardner said that my show starts at three in the morning, but I need to be at the station at eleven at night. It's too late, so don't drop me off. I will get the driver to drive me there."
